DigiLink Mini Cables and Adapters
Avid provides various cables and adapters to con-
nect Avid HD audio interfaces to HDX,
HD Native, and Pro Tools|HD cards.
DigiLink Mini Cables
Use a DigiLink Mini cable to connect an HD I/O to
an HDX or HD Native card, or to other Avid HD
audio interface (such as another HD I/O).
There are five different lengths of DigiLink Mini
cables:
• 18 in (0.46m)
• 12 ft (3.6m) (sold separately)
• 25 ft (7.62m) (sold separately)
• 50 ft (15.25m), the maximum length sup-
ported for 176.4 kHz and 192 kHz sessions
(sold separately)
• 100 ft (30.5m), the maximum length sup-
ported by 88.2 kHz and 96 kHz sessions (sold
separately)
DigiLink Mini Adapters
Use a DigiLink cable with a DigiLink Mini adapter
to connect HD I/O to a Pro Tools|HD card. You
can also use a DigiLink Mini adapter to connect
HD I/O to legacy Pro Tools|HD audio interfaces
(such as 192 I/O).
There are two types of DigiLink Mini adapters:
• 12 in DigiLink Mini female to DigiLink male
• 12 in DigiLink Mini male to DigiLink female
Clock and Synchronization Ports
WD CLOCK IN and OUT
The Word Clock I/O ports are standard BNC con-
nectors that receive and output word clock signal.
These ports can be used to synchronize HD I/O
with any word clock-capable device.
Word Clock In can be configured by selecting it as
the Clock Source in the Hardware Setup dialog in
Pro Tools. Word Clock Out can also be configured
in the Hardware Setup dialog using the External
Clock Output selector.
For more information about DigiLink Mini
cables and adapters, visit the Avid website
(www.avid.com).
Because crucial timing data is passed
through the Loop Sync and Word Clock
ports, you should use high-quality, 75-Ohm
RG–59 cables for making connections.
